[This is a transcript of the video embedded below.] Quantum mechanics is weird – I am sure you’ve read that somewhere. And why is it weird? Oh, it’s because it’s got that “spooky action at a distance”, doesn’t it? Einstein said that. Yes, that guy again. But what is spooky at a distance? What did Einstein really say? And what does it mean? That’s what we’ll talk about today. The vast majority of sources on the internet claim that Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” ...

Four Essential Principles of Quantum Computation The answer to the question “what is a quantum computer?” encompasses quantum mechanics (QM), quantum information theory (QIT) and computer science (CS). It is a device that leverages specific properties described by quantum mechanics to perform computation. We are entering a new era of computation that will catalyze discoveries in science and technology. Novel computing platforms will probe the fundamental laws of our universe and aid in solv...

Beloved late physicist Richard P. Feynman (1918–1988) first met his hero Paul Dirac (1902–1984) during Princeton University’s Bicentennial Celebration in 1946 and then again at least twice, in 1948…

Charlotte Brontë with a message from the Luddites. Mr. Moore was but half a Briton, and scarcely that. He came of a foreign ancestry by the mother’s side and was himself born and partly reared on a foreign soil. A hybrid in nature, it is probable he had a hybrid’s feeling on many points—patriotism for one. It is likely that he was unapt to attach himself to parties, to sects, even to climes and customs. It is not impossible that he had a tendency to isolate his individual person from any...

Electrons and Water Molecules Form a Pulsating Cluster March 3, 2021• Physics 14, s29 In water, single electrons can cluster with water molecules to form a quasiparticle that oscillates in size, a behavior that could influence the equilibration speed of chemical reactions in the system.   M. Wörner/Max Born Institute M. Wörner/Max Born Institute × When a free electron in water interacts with neighboring water molecules, it can form a quasiparticle known as a “solvated” electro...

" Bohrs model of the atom. Wikimedia Commons (CC BY 4.0) You can search for a picture of an atom on the internet and youll find one, even though nobodys actually seen an atom before. But weve got an estimation of what a single atom looks like because of the work of a bunch of different scientists like Danish physicist Niels Bohr. Atoms are the building blocks of matter — a single atom of any individual element is the most basic entity in nature that still abides by the rules of physics...
